Reviews: What People Think About Card Shark Collection™

Rating: 5/5
My original review was only three stars, because the app was harassing me to leave a review. I don't know if the app is able to somehow *tell* if I've left a review or not, but it's been over a year and I haven't been asked to leave a review since then. I'm raising my review from three to FIVE starts because, during the time since I wrote the review, Apple started forcing developers to share what kinds of information the app collects, and (at least according to the developer) this app doesn't collect ANY inforamation at all. In addition, I've been using the 1Blocker firewall (which blocks apps from being able to connect to certain domains, such as analytics and tracking services) and this firewall doesn't report any attempts to connect to such services while I've been using this app. To the developer: THANK YOU for respecting peoples' privacy, by not trying to collect any data yourself, AND by not using any third-party frameworks which collect data without your knowledge.

This collection of card games is the most exhaustive of any app I've seen. It contains almost every card game I've ever played and many I'd never heard of. I purchased it specifically for Canasta, but have played some of the other games as well. Many are solitaire variants and others are multiplayer, but unfortunately you can only play against the AI. In some of the multiplayer games, like Canasta and Gin Rummy, the AI is relatively easy to beat, and they are only 2-player versions. Sheepshead on the other hand is a very challenging 3-player game. It would be nice to be able to adjust the difficulty of the AI and the number of players; even better to be able to play against other humans.
The app is strongest in the Solitaire department, but could be improved in quality and variety in the trick-taking and rummy type games. Contract Bridge is notably absent. Overall the poker games are disappointing, and I would not recommend it as a poker app.
All things considered, it's hours of entertainment for not very much money, and has many games you won't find anywhere else. The interface is solid overall and it has never been buggy or crashed for me.

I don’t only play these games myself but I am also someone who works with the elderly and make suggestions to them of games to download on their iPads and phones. This app by far is extremely easy to use has all the features you would want (such as a clock in the corner) and it does not contain a whole bunch of extra annoying and distracting things. I love all the choices of the card decks especially for those with difficulty with vision and the variety of games is amazing. I’ve never seen anything else on the App Store like it, and it’s beautiful.
I’ve been to the website that goes along with this app and it’s lovely to see the stories of how this app was developed and even some information about the developer including a little tale about a new addition to his family. I hope you do not stop supporting this and I hope this app is here along time. Did I say get it. Get it!
